Sharing videos from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games on social media is not allowed, even for athletes, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Thursday as it looked to protect broadcasters’ rights. Jamaican double gold medalist sprinter Elaine Thompson-Herah was blocked briefly from Instagram on Wednesday after she had posted videos of her victorious 100 and 200 meters races to her 310,000 followers, violating broadcast rights for the Games. A Facebook spokesperson later said that while the content from Facebook-owned Instagram was removed, the suspension was wrongly applied.
